What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account designed exclusively to invest, grow, and give assets to charities for meaningful and lasting impact. Here's how it works: You donate assets into a DAF and recommend how those assets should be invested. Your contribution is tax deductible and the assets in the DAF grow tax-free. When you're ready, recommend a grant to a charity you care about, and we take care of the rest.
Who is Vanguard Charitable?
We are the nation’s leading provider of the highest value donor-advised funds. Our charitable investment accounts enable impact to multiply, helping our donors take their giving further. We were founded by Vanguard in 1997 as an independent 501 (c)(3) to make it easier for donors to increase the value and impact of their giving—through lowest-cost, long-term charitable investments. Guided by Vanguard’s time-tested principles of low cost investing, we balance the highest levels of service and convenience with the lowest cost ratios in the industry. We like to say that we help donors take their giving further.
